I have used phenolic gaskets on about 9-10 different motors, maybe more. They always worked great for me. I never put something together without them now. Your problem is the stock gasket. The phenolic material will not seal against paper, cork, or similar material. Either make the spacer or get a few of the phenolic gaskets.
You could even buy a 1/4" sheet of phenolic and use that as your spacer/gasket in one.
